Chapter 128: Sacred Beast Appears—Run!

Upon hearing Lin Xing say he wanted to go deeper inside, Hei Hu was immediately taken aback.

"Boss, you want to go in?" Hei Hu's voice rang out in Lin Xing's mind.

"Yeah, what's the problem? Don't tell me you're scared?" Lin Xing said, looking at Hei Hu.

Hei Hu hesitated for a moment but still nodded and said, "I've never been inside before. I have no idea what it's like in there."

"That's exactly why we need to go in. What's there to be afraid of? It's just a Sacred Beast. If we can't beat it, can't we just run away? As long as we're careful, it'll be fine."

Hei Hu was still a bit hesitant. Legendary Sacred Beasts could deal with Ninth-level Magical Beasts like the two of them with ease.

"Let's go, Hei Hu. Since when are you so chicken?" Lin Xing couldn't help but feel slightly displeased. Although he could command Hei Hu to go in with him, Lin Xing didn't want to force Hei Hu's will.

"Worst case, if it gets too dangerous, you can just retreat into the Magical Pet space!"

Hei Hu finally gave in with reluctance. Although it was dangerous inside, it would be good to go and see for himself.

And so, one man and one tiger embarked on their journey deeper into the Magical Beast Forest.

Lin Xing and Hei Hu fought their way inward. When passing through the territories of some Ninth-level Magical Beasts, they boldly marched through. Thanks to their combined strength, some Ninth-level Magical Beasts were simply no match for them. When they encountered opponents they couldn't defeat, they used Hei Hu's wings to make their escape.

Soon, they ventured deeper and deeper.

One day, just after crossing a mountain ridge, they heard an angry roar from ahead, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Then, a black shadow sprang from the distant treetops. The speed of that black shadow was extremely fast. When the roar sounded, it was still over ten kilometers away. By the time the roar ended, it had already covered a distance of one kilometer. Lin Xing looked over and saw that the black shadow moved across the treetops as if they were flat ground. With each leap, it would cover several hundred meters. From this, it was clear it couldn't fly, but its leaping ability was incredible.

As soon as that black shadow appeared, Lin Xing knew things were bad. That thing emitted a sinister aura, making him uncomfortable even from several kilometers away. Moreover, a powerful aura emanated from the black shadow.

Seeing this black shadow, both Lin Xing and Hei Hu sensed danger. Clearly, this black shadow was a being far more powerful than them.

"Hei Hu, run!" Seeing things had taken a turn for the worse, Lin Xing turned and started running. But it was already too late. That black shadow had now arrived in front of Lin Xing, blocking his path. Hei Hu, meanwhile, flapped his wings and flew into the air.

It was an animal resembling a spider, but only in shape, as its size was countless times larger than a spider. Its body diameter reached two meters, and with its eight legs extended, the span was about ten meters. Its entire body was supported by eight long legs, suspended about one meter off the ground. The body was like an egg, covered in half-foot-long black fur. A pair of eyes flashed with a green light, but inside, the pupils were actually white, looking incredibly eerie. Below the eyes were two rows of ventral eyes, all green. A large, furry mouth opened and closed, revealing sinister fangs inside, constantly chewing and emitting a squeaking sound. It also continuously drooled green saliva, emitting a foul odor. Its entire appearance was not only terrifying but also nauseating.

Most importantly, the powerful aura emanating from this giant spider made Lin Xing feel very uncomfortable.

"Human, why have you trespassed into my territory?" the spider spoke in human language. A talking magical beast: Lin Xing was now certain this spider monster was a Saint Level magical beast!

Lin Xing thought to himself, *This is bad. A Saint Level magical beast. Judging by the powerful aura it's emitting now, I'm afraid even if Hei Hu and I join forces, we wouldn't be its match. Escaping is the priority.*

Lin Xing's eyes shifted, and he said, "Mr. Spider, Hei Hu and I were just passing through here and unintentionally trespassed into your territory. We didn't mean to offend you."

The spider's face revealed a human-like smile, appearing so disgusting and eerie. "Gahaha, human, since you've entered my territory, don't think about leaving. I'll have you as my dinner!"

Lin Xing thought, *This is bad.* He telepathically said to Hei Hu: "Hei Hu, you attack its eyes from above. I'll attack its eight legs from below."

Immediately, Lin Xing let out a furious roar and charged towards the spider. Hei Hu flapped his wings and also flew towards the spider, spewing a mouthful of flames at it while still in the air!

It seemed the spider feared fire. Seeing the flames coming, its eight legs moved together, shifting to one side with lightning speed. Then, it traced an arc and charged towards Lin Xing. It seemed because Lin Xing couldn't fly, it decided to deal with him first.

The spider's speed was very fast. It left a black streak on the ground and was already in front of Lin Xing. Its front two legs suddenly kicked out, creating a flurry of leg shadows.

Lin Xing roared and slashed out with his blade! Meanwhile, Hei Hu had now arrived above the spider.

"Boom!" Lin Xing was sent flying backward by a tremendous force. He crashed through many trees with a series of cracks and thuds before falling to the ground. Meanwhile, Hei Hu's sharp claws had already grabbed onto the spider's back.

"Rip!" Hei Hu's claws left several gashes on the spider's back.

The spider roared in anger. Its eight legs danced into a blur of black shadows, fiercely striking Hei Hu's body. Hei Hu roared and was sent flying.

The spider let out a loud cry. Its eight legs pushed off the ground, and with a black flash, it arrived in front of Lin Xing. A leg like a black shadow stabbed towards Lin Xing.

Lin Xing roared angrily. His foot stomped hard on the ground, sending a wave of dirt shooting towards the spider. Simultaneously, Lin Xing retreated violently!

The dirt only made the spider pause for a moment before it continued pouncing. At the same time, its mouth opened, spewing a mouthful of foul-smelling green venom.

Seeing this, Lin Xing dared not let that venom touch him. He hastily dodged to the side, avoiding the venom. The venom sprayed onto trees and the ground. The trees that were touched immediately withered, yellowed, and began to corrode. In no time, an entire tree collapsed with a crash. On the ground, the venom corroded a pit!

Seeing this, Lin Xing's heart pounded wildly. If that really touched his body... thinking of the horror, a bead of sweat appeared on Lin Xing's forehead.

Seeing it hadn't hit Lin Xing, the spider roared in anger. Its body crouched slightly, and it charged at Lin Xing again.

After all, the spider was a Saint Level magical beast, its strength far surpassing Lin Xing's. With a black flash, Lin Xing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he was sent flying backward.
